The Euro would have real advantages for the UK. Just think of the endless new opportunities for whining about Jonny Foreigner. The Daily Wail could bring out a special bumper 200 page 'invasion by the EUSSR edition'. Lots of ageing Tory MPs would have heart attacks. Norman Tebbitt would explode. And to top all that, I would be able to buy a latte in Birmingham using the same currency as in Amsterdam!And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Bear in mind that it might not even be a British government negotiating on your behalf, as there's a fair chance Scotland and Wales would demand independence and then seek to rejoin the EU, leaving England to negotiate a deal for itself.Comment

Switzerland is even part of Schengen, you don't show your passport anymore at the border, they just check the occasional car for drugs. Switzerland is a part of the EU in everything but name, it's even pegged the Swiss Franc to the Euro, costing them billions a year keeping their currency in line, it would be far cheaper for Switzerland to be in the Euro.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
